The research team was able to complete the Specialization course which leaded them to design infographics and interactive images, to record an animated video, record a podcast, experiences in which the students were able to practice, as they could have presented previous experiences or being this the first time doing it, in any case, they were valuable opportunities to put into practice with the teaching and the learning process. The course was divided into three modules, starting with getting to know the approach and the proper usage of the learning management system, then followed by the various online tools, and last how to elaborate learning material with the tools and methods of the previous modules.
